Port Authority Official Resigns After Going on Profane Tirade Against Cops During Traffic Stop (Mediaite)

Port Authority board member and ethics chairwoman Caren Turnerhas resigned from her post after going on a rant and cursing out cops over a traffic stop.

Politico obtained camera footage from an incident last month where police pulled over a car in Tenafly, NJ, and Turner’s daughter was one of the four passengers riding inside. The stop was going smoothly at first according to Officer Matthew Savitsky, but things changed after Turner herself arrived on the scene.

Throughout her tirade, Turner requested information from the officers, demanded that they refer to her as “commissioner,” and made several insulting comments. She’s also seen swearing at the cops, calling one officer an “ass” and telling another “you may shut the f*ck up.”
